For most buyers, the practical question is how rather than whether. The good news: holiday home finance is a well-trodden path, and the lenders we work with deal with it every day.
Our role is to lay out the options plainly. We don’t push a single product, we don’t pretend the rate is special when it isn’t, and we’ll happily show you the maths before you commit to anything.
• Photo ID — passport or driving licence
• Proof of address — recent utility bill or bank statement
• Three months’ bank statements (or pension statements if applicable)
• Proof of income — payslips, tax returns or pension paperwork
• Deposit — typically 20% of the purchase price, available on completion
How long does the finance process take?
From application to approval, usually 7–14 working days with a specialist lender. We'll line everything up alongside your reservation so there's no waiting around at the end.
Will applying affect my credit score?
Most specialist lenders perform a soft search initially, which doesn't affect your score. A full application includes a hard search; we'll always tell you which stage you're at.
Can I overpay or settle the loan early?
Most holiday home loans allow overpayments and early settlement. Terms vary by lender — we'll talk you through the small print before you sign.
Do you charge a fee for arranging finance?
No. Three Lochs introduces buyers to lenders at no cost. The lender's own fees (arrangement, administration) sit on the loan — they're disclosed up front.
